Answer

Why can abuse on a secluded finca in Mallorca go unnoticed for so long?

Cases on remote fincas can stay hidden when there is little day-to-day contact with neighbours, schools or local services. Isolation, language barriers and weak communication between institutions can make warning signs easier to miss. In Mallorca, that means regular contact with teachers, health workers and social services is especially important.
